Not one word

Our mortal days start full of painCrying lustily that is plainContinuing on all our livesStarting when that warm breast is goneMy how I wept that was so wrongHow I cried my first day at schoolIt felt all wrong, I was a foolI couldn't pull my trousers upSo refused to go the second dayMuch to my dear mothers dismayWhen things finally settled downMy sad face alwasy wore a frownEspecially when that fair haired girlPoked her pink tongue out at meWhen I cried they all laughed at meThen teenage years did surpriseGrowing up opened up my eyesNow we were in a battle royalWe learned of that glorious cupSounding so good but could not supHowever love does find its wayFor a short while things seem OKMarriage and our little childrenHalcyon days no end in siteUntil I wake with such a frightI find that I'm an old man nowWith tumbling feet and weathered browThe bells are tolling just for meThat's because no-one else has heardI leave this life with not one wordImage found at www.dailymail.co.uk/

I really feel this poem, Robin, memories of the cruelties of school days, the years when our kids were small we thought would go on forever....and now finding ourselves so soon in this place of old age we never imagined.............a really beautiful write, my friend.

Wonderful poem, taking us through time. I hated school - hated the jokes and the bullying. This touched a chord in me. My mother recently died, without a word. But I remember her words while she lived. We will remember your words as well.

About Me

Retired and glad to be so. Family is the most important thing to have and enjoy.
Now please remember, most of what I tell you is fiction. Much of it is based on personal experiences, recollections and just plain fabrication!
Often in tales about myself I may appear to be the hero, well I am not going to be the villain am I?

My Cousin Rachel - Despite reading some not too flattering reviews of this film and seeing previous interpretations I thought the story as presented was engaging and characters believable in this new remake of the classical story. Starring Rachel Weisz and Sam Caflin. 8/10
